We have a chart to follow but basically the max we can ever go is 18hrs duty with 3 pilots....followed by 24hrs rest.

We never hang out in FBOs all day, we dont land at 2300 and leave at 0600 or any crap like that..etc...but where we get maxed out is long trips that require 3 pilots and the rest issue is never an easy one...rest areas just are not that great on these planes, you wind up with 3 tired pilots.

Its just going to get worse with planes having longer and longer range. 8000+nm in a corporate jet?...no thanks..
